Tell franie I'm sorry she didn't get to know her dad
Ill bet hes sorry he didn't get to know you too
Tell her therell be people singing things that make her sad
How her daddy felt alone how he was hurtin bad
I guess that wont be too far from the truth

Yeah, its lonely at the top
Happy is one thing its not.

I was jaded, suffocated, it got too hard to breath
But never got as high as I needed to be
You know life becomes worthless when they steal your dreams
I just couldn't live with what was left for me
And I couldn't run far enough from the truth, whats the use

Yeah, its lonely at the top
Happys one thing its not

Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down
No one there can help you stop before you hit the ground
Its lonely at the top

Oooh yeah,

Tell franie, I'm sorry I better kiss her when she cries
I'm sorry I left her, never said good-bye
didn't mean to leave you all alone but then the music died
Though the song remains the same, I couldn't live that lie
You know that aint too far from the truth
And you know that aint too far from the truth

Yeah, its lonely at the top
Happys one thing its not

Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down
No one there to help you stop before you hit the ground
Yeah, its lonely at the top
Yeah, its lonely at the top
Its lonely
